The first training center I worked at was the most profitable in the company mostly because the head foreign teacher deliberately ignored any directives from HQ that were stupid. The second one was, from what I heard, the most profitable in China (though that could have been just in China for the parent company? I dunno, it was a New Oriental subsidiary, whatever), probably because though directives from above were far more sparse, they were equally ignored. I doubt that profitability lasted, though, after the HR lady started pissing off ALL of the foreign teachers, then pissed off all the Chinese teachers when she tried to fire me (probably because I rejected her advances). Oh yeah and she fired the sexually harassing creep all the CTs hated, too; but it was just as everyone she pissed off started to quit, so it turned out we needed the creep. I mean staff turnover costs money, and they went from losing no one (NOT ONE PERSON) for over a year to losing almost all the foreign teachers in a couple months, and chinese staff every couple of weeks. I never bothered learning the names of the front desk staff the last year, they were replaced so often.

Haier posted:OMG I enjoyed it. She doesn't whine, she does the opposite of that actually. She's just arrived in a new country and she's in the "honeymoon" phase where everything is new and wonderful and different. She complains about the bathrooms and, frankly, if I saw a bathroom with the showerhead right above the toilet I would do. That's it. On the other hand, she knows how to edit a YouTube video so it's not 10 minutes of the camera pointed straight at her while she goes "er..." and "urr..." and "ah..." like so many people who can't be arsed to prepare their poo poo in advance or edit out the awkward. Probably because they're nothing but awkward. Her video has a lot of great sights, for someone like me who has never set foot in China and insh'Allah never will. She talks fast and zaps from one scene to the next at a brisk clip so it never gets boring. Yeah, so she has bushy eyebrows, big whoop. Is she naive about China? That's not for me to answer, but frankly if someone came back to this thread with the recommendation to watch this girl's videos over a six months period to see how she turns more and more bitter and jaded as time goes on I totally would.

The last apartment I stayed at in Japan had a shower+bath room with electronic controlled water temperature, a sink+vanity+washing machine room attached to that and the hallway, and then across the hall was the toilet and the toilet had a running faucet thing on top that flowed with the water that was filling the tank. It was real drat nice and took up less space than most bathrooms in the US. Khorne fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Jun 30, 2017 |

I still remember the first email I sent my mom after coming here for the first time in 2006. I lost that email address to hackers (Yahoo gonna Yahoo) or I'd post it, but I remember the part where I said this must be what it's like to be an ant in a massive colony. By then I'd already been around Europe and lived in Thailand and India, so it wasn't really a shock or anything. I just thought China was depressing and it must suck to be born and live here your whole life.

Here, have a bit of old timey kan renao.txt.quote:For a long time I did not understand that most Chinese believe all foreigners are rich. Nor did I realize how well dressed and well fed I seemed to the Chinese poor. To them I was nothing but a source of money. Once, when I fell while crossing a ditch in Peiping [Beijing] and lay unconscious, a crowd of Chinese, including a policeman, gathered around me, staring curiously - perhaps watching to see how a foreigner died. Not one offered to help, until by chance a student came by; he directed a ricksha coolie to take me to a hospital. Never have I felt so alone and deserted. The author of that passage is Agnes Smedley, a journalist/author/spy and early Communist supporter who lived in China for many years and even hung out with the Red Army in Yan'an in the 30s for a while. She was probably about as sympathetic of a foreign voice for the ordinary Chinese person as you could find in that era, and even she wrote about experiences like this. A lot of blame for the intense bystander effect in modern mainland Chinese society is put the on the breakdown of social mores under Communism and the handful of 'good Samaritan' court cases in recent years. So it's worth noting that this incident occurred in the late 1920s (and in fact is in a book that was published during WWII, years before the Communists even came to power).

curufinor posted:By percentage of total population dead in fuckedup ways, I think the Great Leap Forward was not actually more impactful than the Taiping No one really knows or will ever know the Taiping era death toll, let alone parse which deaths belong to which of the half dozen concurrent wars or dozen ongoing floods and famines in the timeframe. Tobie Meyer-Fong's What Remains is pretty recent and deals with how the survivors tried to make sense of it all. Achieving a similar death toll to fifteen years of war and natural disaster in three years of peace nevertheless remains an astounding achievement.
